Podcasts about courageous faith

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him with everything? This week in our Courageous Faith series, we’ll look at Hebrews 11:17–19 where Abraham’s faith was put to the ultimate test—and how his story points us to the cross and God’s unshakable goodness. We hope you are reminded that even when faith is tested, God is faithful. Discussion Questions According to verses 17–18, what did Abraham believe about God’s promise when he was told to offer Isaac?” What does this moment reveal about the kind of trust God calls us to—especially when obedience doesn’t seem to make sense? Verse 19 says Abraham reasoned/considered that God could even raise the dead. What does that show us about his view of God’s power and faithfulness? How can that strengthen our confidence when we face hard or uncertain moments? In verses 20–22, how did Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph express their faith in God’s future plans? Can you draw out any sort of reflections from their lives of faith that help us as we look toward the future? What stood out or challenged you from the message this week? How do you see Jesus as more beautiful and wonderful from this last week's text/sermon?

This week in our Courageous Faith series, we’ll explore how Abraham and Sarah trusted God’s promises even when they couldn’t see the outcome. Their story calls us to live in light of God’s goodness, greatness, and calling—with eyes fixed on His future for us.

Paul's time in Athens was a bold step of courage. Surrounded by idols and intellectual pride, he took the Gospel straight into the marketplace, engaging with the great thinkers of the time. Even with the real risk of death, Paul stood firm, declaring that the Creator God had always been present. His courage wasn't based on intellect, but on being deeply aware of God's presence—reminding us that we don't need all the answers to share our faith, just the willingness to step in when God calls. Pastor Dave Dummitt challenges us to be ready, wherever we are, to speak truth with courage!

TESTING BOUNDARIES, EXPLORING FAITH Telling our stories is such an important part of the Camino experience, and it starts long before we take our first steps on the trail. My guest this week, Eden, does an amazing job of showing just how important the pre-Camino story is. And she shows us that pilgrimage isn't just about the pilgrim; rather, it touches the lives of everyone who knows you are going to make this journey. You'll see. There's more to it, too. Eden reminds us that walking the Camino is so much more than the physical walk. So getting ready to walk the Camino can't be all about packing and getting the right backpack and boots and other gear. It also has to be about getting ready mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This is a story of courage, on several fronts. I hope you enjoy it!   WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MY GUEST? I am always looking for compelling stories to share on this podcast. Right now I am looking to talk with people who have walked more than one Camino and who can share about their experiences bringing the Camino home.

Leadership often emerges from standing firm in faith and purpose, even in the face of adversity. On this episode of the AVAIL Podcast, we sit down with Jonathan Isaac, professional NBA player for the Orlando Magic, author of Why I Stand, and founder of Unitas, a Christian apparel brand inspiring a global movement. Jonathan shares his journey of navigating the pressures of being a Christian in professional sports, overcoming personal battles like anxiety, and using his platform to honor God. From bold decisions that defy popular culture to creating impactful projects like his signature faith-driven sneakers, this episode offers a profound look into resilience, conviction, and the power of living out one's calling.

In this powerful exploration of faith, we delve into the book of Joshua and uncover timeless truths about courage and trust in God. The story of Joshua leading the Israelites into the Promised Land serves as a mirror for our own spiritual journeys. We're challenged to confront three common barriers to faith: suffering, fragile security, and self-sufficiency. But just as God encouraged Joshua to 'be strong and courageous,' we too are called to embrace a faith that includes fear, relies on relational knowing of God, and dares to have confidence in His promises. This message reminds us that true faith isn't about eliminating fear, but about moving forward despite it. It's not just intellectual belief, but a lived experience with a personal God. As we reflect on our own faith journeys, we're invited to see how God has been present in both our highs and lows, shaping us through every experience. This overview of Joshua's story ultimately points us to Jesus, our ultimate Joshua, who leads us into the promises of God and assures us of His constant presence.

In this episode Rabbi Schneider teaches us the importance of aggressively exercising faith over fear knowing we are not alone in this world because God is always with us.   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com
